This cute fluffy monkey looks benign at first, until you spot the durable iPhone case permanently attached to its belly where you're supposed to put in your iPhone or iPod Touch. This drool-proof case and the fact that this toy is targeted to 6- to 36-month-old babies and toddlers means that it gets the Surrogate Parent Award. The toy claims it enhances sensory development and fine motor skills. So does letting your baby play with a cardboard box, a cheaper option than the $29.99 Apptivity Monkey.
